She’s been doing a lot of shows at Eastville Comedy Club lately, which leads me to wonder whether she’s prepping material for a new tour. Regardless, she’s always funny and it’s a treat to be able to see her do her thing in an intimate setting for just $20 a ticket. That should leave you some extra cash to spend on dinner at one of the 90 bazillion amazing

  Last fall BB contrib Meredith Craig de Pietro toured four Brooklyn chocolate factories, including Fine & Raw, whose name is a nod to the fact that they do not process their chocolate over 150 degrees, making their 100% organic and plant-based bars a raw food product.
  “Fine & Raw believe that chocolate is a super food,” she explains, “and that without the refined sugar of say, a Hershey bar, chocolate is actually very good for you.”
  Well, if that’s the c
